It's a cruel, cruel summer, as Bananarama would have told you. So much going on, so much not.

Terrible as it may seem, there are other things that are taking a lot of my time, and the Realms has suffered. By extension, fans of the Realms have had to deal with inferior presentations of their favorite shows on *sniff* other stations.

Would, that I could tell you that your suffering was at an end. Sadly, no. These are interesting times for the Pilgrim and the Shadowy Realms ("interesting" as in the Chinese curse). We'll be back as soon as we can, but—for now—we'll have to direct you to some of the other fine purveyors of audio Horror, Mystery and Suspense available around the web. I ask only that you keep listening, keep enjoying and stay Shadowy.

Until we meet again, peace.

Shadowy Classics

Conspiracy theories and aliens are the peanut butter and chocolate of the imaginative mind. Check out these blended sci-fi movies to get your fill...

Body Snatchers (1993)

This is another remake of the 1956 film based on the 1954 novel by Jack Finney that sounds a bit like the 1951 Heinlein novel The Puppet Masters. Hmm.

The Puppet Masters (1994)

The 1951 Robert Heinlein novel's concept of an alien parasite taking over a human being has been used by numerous movies and TV shows, ever since.

The Arrival (1996)

No pods, no puppets. Just Charlie Sheen, before most of the crazy stuff. Oh, and, for some reason, Ron Silver instead of Donald Sutherland.
